What a day yesterday was! I'm always proud to be an American. Always. But yesterday was something special to me. Not because we inaugurated a black President.... because "we the people" chose, so definitively, hope. We voted our hopes, not our fears.
Do I think President Obama will work miracles? No, of course not. But I do believe he'll work tirelessly to put us back on the right path. And I believe that this man and his wife and his little girls are the portrait of a first family we need to look upon these days. The little girls are so spirited and lively; how can you look at those bright smiling faces and not smile, yourself? How can you look at him, looking at her, at the smile that reaches his eyes, and not believe in true love?
OK, enough sap.
Prayers for the new President and his administration.... that they are careful and prayerful in their decisions; that God blesses them all with safety and good health; that those around them shower them with love when the nay-sayers try to bring them down.
By the way, we inaugurated a bi-racial President yesterday.... he's not "just" African-American.... tho the media seems to have forgotten his white mother.
